WOVEN PILE FABRIC.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 6, 1914.

Application filed March 25, 1913. Serial No. 756,706.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN C. BROOKS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improved VVovenPile Fabric, of

'which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to woven pile fabrics, and particularly to an improved weave for carpet fabric, such for example, as AX- minster or moquette, tapestry, Brussels, velvet or Wilton.

The especial objects of this invention are to provide such pile fabrics with a high simulation of oriental woven fabrics.

In the drawings Figure 1 is an enlarged, open weave, longitudinal section, through the weft, of my improvement illustrative of an Axminster and tapestry. Fig. 2 is a similar view of my improvement illustrative of Brussels, Wilton or velvet. Fig. 3 is a right hand end view of Fig. 1, but showing a second body-Warp thread and pile.

tuft. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the right hand end of Fig. 2. 7

Referring to F ig. l, a is a body-Warp thread and b a contlnuous pile-warp-thread, printed as is customary in tapestries; for pick 1 the thread 6 crosses over and is bent below thread 0. and secured by a weftthread C, thread 6 is then raisedin a loop, 03, and again lowered and secured by a pick of weft, 2; thread b is then crossed over thread a and lowered at the opposite side and secured by a pick of Weft, 3; thread I) is then raised in a loop, e, and again lowered and secured by a a pick of weft, 4; which completes the weave.

The cutting of the loops, as well understood, would change the product to tapest velvet, as picks 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 indicate. T e length of thread formin the pile tufts held, in by picks 6, 7, '8 an' 9 can be inserted from separate warp spools, as is customary in Axminster weaving, with loom mechanism such, for instance, as is shown in my application Serial No. 720,603, filed Se tember 16, 1912.

eferring to Fi 2, j is a body warp me of continuous pile warp th s, as is customary in weavinlg Brussels and Wiltons; for pick 1 bot threads, 9 and h, are bent over body thread )5, and passed below said thread, and secured by a pick of weft 1, one of the threads,

in this instance 9, is raised into a, loop and again lowered and secured by a pick .of

weft, 2; both threads, h, g, arethen crossed over thread f then lowered and secured by it p1ck of weft, 3; one of the desired threads in this instance k, is raised into a' loop and rable fabric obtained for wear in which the pile is not likely to pull out either during its manufacture or after use. It will be also observed that the body warp and weft is absolutely covered by the pile threads, on the face, and, practically, also on the back of the fabric.

In order to produce an equally durable fabric, but with less density of pile, auxiliary binding warp-threads, i, 7' can be employed as illustrated in Fig. 1, these threads crossing each other after each pair of Weft threads.

While I have shown a fabric of only one ply extra plies may be added to form any desired back, thus it is obvious that changes may be made in constructing my improved fabric bodily, by those skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of my invention. I do not wish therefore to be limited to the absolute construction I have herein shown and described. but

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

l. A pile fabric having body warp threads, weft threads and short separate tuft threads, each of'which is bent over a body warp thread and passed under two separate weft threads.

2. A pile fabric having a plurality of body warp threads, weft threads situated entirely below the warp threads, and pile tufts each passing under two adjacent weft threads and over a warp thread.

3. A pile fabric having a lurality of body warp threads, weft threa s, and pile tufts each passingunder two adjacent weft threads and the portion of each Ttuft between the Weft threads passing over a Warp thread.

4. A pile fabwic having a plurality of body Warp threads,'weft threads, and pile tufts each passing under one Weft thread Weft thread.

5.'A pile fabric having a plurality of Warp threads, Weft threads situated entirely below the Warp threads, and pile tufts witnesses. o er a Warp thread and under an adjacent bound into the fabricby the Weft threads,
